In Your Town for June 13, 2018

An unattended candle is thought to have ignited a Greenbrae house fire early Monday that caused $200,000 in damage and sent two to the hospital, authorities said.

Firefighters responded just after midnight to a call on the 200 block of Via La Cumbre, the Central Marin Fire Department said.

The three people — a mother and two adult sons — were able to escape the house. The mother and one son were transported to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, said Battalion Chief Don Stasiowski.

The sons were able to exit through a bedroom window. The mother fled through the front door. The neighbors called 911 and used a home fire extinguisher to try to contain the flames.

Firefighters from Kentfield and Marin County fire assisted. The fire is under investigation.
